MOSCOW – Anatoly Dobrynin, a Soviet diplomat who represented Moscow during the Cuban missile crisis and later in key superpower negotiations to curb the growth of nuclear arsenals, the Kremlin says. He was 90.
His death came the same week that U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev met in Prague to sign a landmark treaty to shrink the Cold War superpowers’ arsenals to the lowest point since the frightening arms race of the 1960s.
In a statement released by the Kremlin, Medvedev called him “a legend of Russian diplomacy.”
